Ryan Day Believes “Some Team is Gonna Get Very Lucky” by Taking Fields Despite Pre-Draft Criticism

Anybody who watched Justin Fields for two seasons at Ohio State knows exactly what he can bring to the table.

A former five-star quarterback and No. 2-ranked overall recruit in the 2018 recruiting class behind Trevor Lawrence, Fields proved those rankings more than correct time and again over the course of the 2019 and 2020 campaigns.

Fields was a Heisman finalist in his first full season as a starter, and he led the Buckeyes to two straight College Football Playoff appearances, including one of the most brilliant performances by an Ohio State player in program history with a six-touchdown star turn against Clemson in January.
